The nineteenth century was a period of continuous change for women's clothing in England. The growing prosperity of the merchant class meant an ever-larger number of women for whom "dress" was a principal function in life, while the increasing availability of lower-priced ready-made garments enabled women of moderate means to purchase the fashions of the day. In addition, the development of the railways spurred the spread of new goods, while the removal of the tax on papers in 1854 produced an abundance of fashion magazines at cheap prices, bringing news of the latest styles to the multitudes.
The magnificent array of ladies' fashions that characterized the century are on display in this remarkably complete decade-by-decade overview. Drawing almost exclusively on contemporary sources — fashion magazines, newspapers, rare period photographs, memoirs, Victorian novels, periodicals, and other publications, as well as firsthand observation of actual garments — the author describes and explains the couture that evolved in response to changing social conditions, technological innovations, and cultural developments.
Over 1,100 line and tone drawings and photographs depict hundreds of outfits ranging from lovely morning dresses and starkly attractive riding outfits to elegant carriage costumes, opulent evening dresses, and exquisite bridal gowns. Full-page plates also depict period millinery, footwear, underclothing, and other apparel, while three useful glossaries provide descriptions of materials, definitions of technical terms, and more.
Museum curators, vintage clothes collectors, and fashion historians will find this carefully researched and well-written book an indispensable tool for dating, identifying, and authenticating vintage clothing. Not only are styles described and illustrated in detail for each year; all the small details of construction by which specimens can be dated are given wherever possible. Moreover, designers, illustrators, and fashion enthusiasts will be delighted by the superbly detailed illustrations, which painstakingly document the fashionable finery of the Victorian era.

Reprint of the Faber & Faber, London, 1937 edition.

MyMed Face Oil
Style: Dermaplaning Oil
As an esthetician, I use this oil to dermaplane clients. It is lightweight, almost like a dry oil but doesn't dry down. It does give good slip without being too much. It's not too oily and has not caused burns or breakouts in my clients. You may find yourself pulling too much oil from the skin when dermaplaning but add a drop more if needed for slip and you should be fine. Its scent is light and pleasant, also. So far, so good!

Perfect for Smooth Dermaplaning!
Style: Dermaplaning Oil
This oil is amazing for dermaplaning! It provides the perfect glide for my razor without irritating or damaging my skin. The ingredients—jojoba and squalane—are some of my favorites, and my skin has been loving them. Every time I use this, my skin feels softer, smoother, and more nourished. The more I use it, the better my skin looks. If you dermaplane regularly, this is definitely a must-have!
